Vietnamese, I like shredded pork with broken rice, otherwise the bread is so French it's amazing. Nothing like Safeway's Artisan French Bread which is too soft and chewy.

Coronation St. But I am biased... (was our household evening viewing Mon & Wed while I was growing up in the UK.

3) You are able to take an all expenses paid driving vacation in Europe

I've always wanted to take an open tourer around the Mediterranean coast. Films like Rebbecca suggested the rugged appeal, rustic charm and temperate climate. I'd like to try it in a classic, like a Jaguar XK120, but something more contemporary may drive better. Also, I could as easily do the Adriatic.

Actually a perfect tour may start on the Italian coast, or maybe Monte, drive up through, say Lugano and into the Swiss Alps onto Geneva, that's a comfortable 5 day tour.

4) Pen, Pencil, Marker, Crayon, Pastel or Brush. Which do you use for artistic endeavors? (add to the list if you need to).

Typically a 4H pencil, or 0.5mm markers. I sketch sometimes.

5) Do you do any needle work, knitting sewing, rugging macrame etc?

Yup, I have made a couple of latch hook rugs, and have done several tapestries.

i would choose Greek, because it's the only kind of food i am familiar with. i'm not big into trying new foods, so Greek it is. oh, and my husband is very fond of greek food, and when the man in the house is happy, so is everybody else. ;)

which one would i choose to watch, or which one would interest me the most after watching them all? because i'm completely lost in the descriptions of all of them. possibly because my brain went into hiding as soon as it saw the word "class" or possibly because i'm an ignorant American... but i just don't know the differences between the different locations.

my husband would make us take that silly rally car and have a good time in the Alps as i clutch my camera like a terrified madwoman, hoping for a good photo op as the scenery goes whizzing by...

4) Pen, Pencil, Marker, Crayon, Pastel or Brush. Which do you use for artistic endeavors? (add to the list if you need to).

pencils, definitely. i used to take great pleasure out of sketching and had a whole collection of fancy pencils and squishy erasers. i never got good enough to deem myself worthy of coloring any of it in.

5) Do you do any needle work, knitting sewing, rugging macrame etc?

nope. i've tried crocheting before, but i'm not very good at learning new things without a hands on teacher. my hands on teacher (my grandmother) died when i was 13, having only taught me 1 knot. there's not much you can do with one knot, so the hobby died pretty fast.
